FOR THE MASTER

<p>Note: although I did not mention the person by name or give attribution to his tweet, a brother whose tweet I shared has denied any affiliation with the overlapping “circles”. Here is the tweeted correction: “Based on our private conversation, Bro Poindexter says he has never had the middle man in his pulpit and has [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Several years ago, I had a man at church tell me that Christmas trees were pagan idols and were expressly forbidden in the Bible. He used Jeremiah 10:2-4 to prove his point. How brilliant is it that God condemned the use of trees to commemorate and celebrate the first coming of Christ nearly 2,000 years [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Does Isaiah 9:6 Debunk the Trinity? How could I even ask such a question? Because many Oneness Pentecostals use it to disprove the Trinity. Sadly, many Trinitarians contribute to the problem because they simply do not know how to handle that verse. Let&#8217;s have a look at the verse.

<p>In The Trinity Delusion’s video, “Trinity: James White Caught with his own Contradiction” (https://youtu.be/2gjH7dclIzo?si=E30FA59F3kG7VIyQ), the accusation is made that Dr. James White contradicted statements in his book, “The Forgotten Trinity” in a video on his old YouTube channel @DrOakley1689 titled “A Reply to Anthony Buzzard” (https://youtu.be/b0MDoaza3IE?si=GkPUjjud5DFGIkOb). A clip from their debate was played by The [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Two videos on Revelation 1:8 and the one thing that keeps coming up is Tertullian. One quote, in particular, keeps being brought up as evidence to support Erasmus&#8217; omission of &#8220;God&#8221; from Revelation 1:8. This is an error that made its way into the early English translations such as the Tyndale, Geneva, KJV, and even [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Responding to questions about Minuscule 2050. Several people have asked me about Minuscule 2050. It is a 12th Century manuscript that does, in fact, omit “ὁ θεός” at Revelation 1:8. However, we must be very careful here. It is not accurate to say that it omits “ὁ θεός”. It omits an entire phrase. “λέγει κύριος [&hellip;]</p>

<p>&#8220;Modern Versions Leave out the Most Crucial word denoting &#8220;Jesus Thou&#8221; Son of God. The Verse in the Modern Versions doesn&#8217;t sound Right. Like it&#8217;s Missing the Fullness of its Rendering. Like the Devil&#8217;s don&#8217;t want to make a Connection with the Son of God being Jesus in its Entirety. So many Subtle Deficiencies and [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Someone sent me this graphic and asked that I comment on it. As you can see, there is a variant at the beginning of John 9:4. TR-based English versions usually prefer &#8220;I&#8221; where modern English versions that follow the Critical Text use &#8220;We&#8221;. Which is correct? Before we dig into that question, I must first [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The Word of God is inspired and inerrant in the original autographs only. The Word of God has been providentially preserved through the rapid copying and spreading those copies in the original languages throughout the world. Many of those copies have been preserved in monasteries and libraries in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Many of those [&hellip;]</p>

<p>In this video, I want to address one particular commenter&#8217;s arguments that really summarize the vast majority of comments I have received. I have been told that I don&#8217;t believe the Bible. I am not saved. One commenter told me, &#8220;enjoy burning in hell along with all those perversions&#8221;. I have been told that the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This weekend, I learned that the pastor at a Southern Baptist Church near my house embraces Word of Faith Movement teachers. I was blown away. I was invited to a private Facebook group ran by this pastor. This pastor had posted a mega-church pastor&#8217;s clip where he was preaching on the &#8220;spirit of Jezebel&#8221;. Many [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Robert Breaker and his rabid followers teach that you cannot go to the gospels and can only use “Paul’s gospel” for salvation. What in the world are they talking about and why is their teaching so wrong? Robert Breaker is a hyper-dispensationalist that teaches that the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are under [&hellip;]</p>

<p>29 years ago today, at the age of 16, just two months after repenting and believing the gospel, I surrendered to the Lord&#8217;s will to serve him in ministry. It may sound premature or even immature to make such a commitment at only 16 and only two months after my conversion, but I cannot describe [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The word, church, is first used in Matthew 16 when Jesus tells Peter that he will build his church upon the bedrock of the identity of Christ. The word, church, comes from the Greek word, ἐκκλησία, meaning a called out assembly. THE church is the complete body of believers. A church is a local gathering [&hellip;]</p>

<p>According to Lifeway Research, The Southern Baptist Convention, America&#8217;s largest Protestant denomination, lost nearly half a million people and 416 churches in 2022. The SBC has declined by more than 1.5 million since 2018. The organization has been on a continual decline in membership since 2006 or 2007 (depending on who you ask) when their [&hellip;]</p>

<p>There are a number of words in our New Testament that refer to people who are under the authority of another. One of those words is &#8220;doulos&#8221; and has a very specific meaning and always has the same definition: slavery. It is never anything less. It represents complete servitude. While the word &#8220;doulos&#8221; appears time [&hellip;]</p>

When I speak of &#8220;legalism&#8221; within the IFB, I am referring to those who believe in and demand a strict literal adherence to rules and regulations established a particular [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This month, I celebrate my 45th birthday. More importantly, this month marks 29 years since Christ did a marvelous work of salvation in my life and called me into the ministry. As I reflect on 29 years of ministry, I want to offer some advice to those who are in Christian ministry from a guy [&hellip;]</p>
